Science: Macaques to Santiago

Fourteen miles east of Puerto Rico's San Juan harbor is the wooded,
36-acre island of Santiago. There 500 macaques, or rhesus monkeys,
landed last week, having voyaged 14,000 miles from India in 51 days.
Columbia University intends to establish on Santiago a "free-ranging
primate colony." Purpose: research on primate behavior, glands,
reproduction and tropical diseases. As from Alcatraz, the only mode of
escape from Santiago is by swimming.
